Dewey Lake

Dewey
Lake is a pretty little lake along the PCT near Chinook Pass. I had hiked from
Chinook Pass several times to Sheep Lake, but I had never gone the opposite
direction towards Naches Peak.

It was a nice sunny day, but the sky was hazy
from all the forest fires raging on. The flowers were mostly gone, replaced by
autumn’s golden colors of yellow, red and orange.

The hike itself was not too hard, but I found myself
struggling because I had ran the Gladiator Run the day before with Crystal, and
we had to hike down first before hiking back up. (See picture below for how tired I was!)

The lake was a nice little
lake where we enjoyed lunch before heading back up to the view point and back
to the cars. It was a nice, short hike that I would definitely like to do again!
